QUIT OVER-THINKING
Tuesday Sept. 3, 2019
Every element of preparation is work.
Sometimes, joyous passion, but mostly preparation is like a pair of oxen yoked together working an unbroken field pulling their one-bottom plow – never-ending drudgery.
Result?
A field.
Crop to harvest.
Seems so remotely far removed from task at hand.
Good thing oxen don’t have a big brain to overthink things … .
Experience teaches that from every hundred seeds planted, they won’t all grow and we can’t harvest them all at once.
But we keep planting.
No matter what a poor season it was, fields are plowed, farmers plant again.
And again. And again.
No matter how tedious, those oxen keep plowing.
Selling widgets, selling ideas, changing the world – just different words for plowing new ground, planting, sowing seeds.
They don’t all grow.
But we keep planting.
Don’t overthink it.
